Industry and Enterprise: An International Survey of Modernization and Development

The latter part of the 20th century was a period of radical global political-economic change. Numerous non-Western countries industrialized and transitioned from statist-collectivism to modern market-capitalist democracy. However, others stagnated or even regressed in economic and political respects. This book provides a detailed contemporary account of industrial-economic modernization and development in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America and the Caribbean.
